Re:How fast can you allocate a large block of memory in C++?

Actually Arduino code does tend to use dynamic allocation for things like strings - it's a lot easier than the alternative, they tend to have quite a lot of memory these days (e.g. 1 MB) and hobby projects don't need to be super-reliable usually.

One megabyte or ten isn't enough to bother with mapping, and on Arduino you don't typically have memory mapping hardware anyway. "Big" means gigabytes these days, sometimes hundreds of them.
